Our baby is finally here! I honestly thought I was going to be pregnant forever even though she came 2 weeks early. I went for my 38 week ultrasound and had my weekly non stress test (I had gestational diabetes). I had been having contractions for 2 weeks and was 3cm dialated and 80% effaced the day before at my MD appointment. Everyone told me it could be any day now or next week which didn't help my nerves or feeling of being uncomfortable. When I got home from the doctor I was determined to help things move along. I took a long walk and then my husband and I had sex. When I went to the bathroom once we were done I felt a gush of fluid but wasn't sure if it was pee or not. I stood up and more fluid came out. I sat on the toilet for a while and fluid kept coming along with some strong contractions. I called the on call doctor and off to the hospital we went. By the time I got onto the table I was gushing fluid all over. I never imagined my water breaking because they say only 10-15% of women experience this. The doctor checked me and i was 4cm dilated. They admitted me right away and I was able to get an epidural. It provided some relief but then 45
